I'm not a big fan of the beef ribs due to lack of meat on them usuallyand just overall 'iffy' results, probably from my lack of patience. Regardless, these caught my eye at $1.99 a pound for 'choice' grade and jumped in the shopping cart so we tried again. Gave them a nice heavy coat of rubafter taking the membrane off. Decided they needed a heavy dose of foiling so gave them 3 hours at 250 with apple pellets then foiled with some Coke and saucefor another 3 hours.So, overall, not bad.....not fall off the bone but a OK tug and some very decent meat in spots with sauceon the side for dipping and a roll of paper towels handy for chin drips.If I do this again I'm thinking another hour in the foil for tenderness but that's my opinion only.
